The Committee received a report asking it to note the outcome of the consultation and to consider the adoption of a revised compliance and enforcement policy.

The following matter was considered:

a)            Renters Rights Bill. The Public Protection Manager informed the Committee that that the Renters Rights Bill was in the final stages of Parliamentary consideration and may necessitate further changes to the Compliance and Enforcement Policy within the next 12 months. If this was the case any required amendments would be brought back to the Committee for consideration. In response to a question from a Member, the Committee was informed that officers recommended proceeding with adoption of the Policy at the present time, given that consultation on it had already been undertaken and the potential delay before the Bill's effects are realized.

Following consideration the Committee unanimously resolved to:

(1)      Agree to adopt the revised Compliance and Enforcement policy as set out in Appendix 1 to the report.

(2)      Agree to nominate and authorise the Head of Housing and Community to make any future amendments of an administrative nature (updates to legislation, role changes, constitutional changes).
